Toyomafia - The Clubhouse. 151.880

Low hanging fruit.
My standards are a bit higher for you.
Put in some damn effort!

All right!! Get back out there, Champ!

 

The also thought we needed a 22lb bird for 9 people, 3 of which won’t eat turkey. Leftovers for days

 

Guys,

These are some great lookin birds.
The ToyoMafia cookout is gonna be the bomb!

 

Don’t overestimate me.

 

I’ve estimated you perfectly.
Don’t undersell yourself.

Now… let’s think about this while you bust out a couple of laps.

 

I don’t get excited for much, don’t tease me!!

 

You say that like it's a bad thing...

 

One of my co-workers learned how to smoke a turkey when he was living in Louisiana. I think I'll invite myself over to his place for Thanksgiving next year.

 

I do a southern-ish inspired Thanksgiving dinner though we do ham instead of turkey. Ham, grilled potato salad, cast iron mac&cheese, cornbread, caesar salad, apple or pecan pie and bourbon. C'mon over!

 

I'll talk my brother into doing a turkey and maybe a pie or two and pick him up on the way up there.

 

Love this plan.

 

We had a 13 pound bird for 10 people and still have a couple days of leftovers for both families.

 

Wait, you’re Canadian. You’re not allowed to take today off and eat turkey I thought

 

umm, exCUSE me!? I'm Albertan with overt American tendencies. I do Thanksgiving right around the time y'all are having Columbus Day. Second Monday of October or thereabouts.

 

I’m thankful that @Outbound and @Cpl_Punishment put up with all of our Canada jealousy……

 

Right. But TODAY is not that day.
What do Canadians have to be thankful for anyway? Beaver pelts and moose knuckles?

 

Moose knuckles get put to shame at my work……..

 

Here's one I make - I add a pound of diced Boars Head Tavern Ham before I put it in the oven to make it a stand-alone dinner.

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups)

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Bring potatoes, cream, broth, salt, and pepper to simmer in large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until paring knife can be slipped in and out of potatoes with no resistance, about 8 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain gentle simmer. Off heat, gently stir in 1 cup cheddar.

Transfer potato mixture to 13 by 9-inch baking dish, spread into even layer, and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheddar. Bake until bubbling around edges and top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Serve.

 

They do have better Kit Kats and Snickers bars...

 

I work with 95% females. No moose knuckles. Just camel toes

 

I didn't cook it today. I cheated on my diet plan and had a Baconator. As for the rest...you raise a valid point. I guess we can be thankful for being able to have such great cousins south of the line.

 

There is so much variety, I’ve lost track of what animal I’m looking at.
I can tell you, invest in good shades. I’ve had a nice set of Oakleys that shit the bed after 5 or so years, tried to be cool and got some pit vipers……. Their optics SUCK!!!!!! I literally have to take them off when I’m driving if I want to see any detail……….

I also deal with a lot of pizza face……

 

We used to do a similar one (with the ham) but add in good mushrooms (morels or chanterelles) and just cook it in the crock pot all day on low.

 

Yep. Good polarized Oakleys with a dark tint. Pit viperz suck.

 

We did that in October but in my team meeting today we were talking about our favourite Thanksgiving food because we didn't a month ago.

 

You guys do have some beautiful mountains and rivers, and will probably get to keep your glaciers a little longer than us down here.

 

And your wife’s vegetarian, right?
So yeah, you probably should visit Aaron for TG.

 

Yeah. I tried the tofurkey the first time she bought one. The second time I just made myself some chicken thighs.
